Question

The test statistic of z= -2.39 is obtained when testing the claim that p<0.52.

Answer 1

Considering the situation described, we have that:

a) The critical value is of z = -1.645.

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value, we should reject the null hypothesis H0.

What is the critical value?

We have a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value. Hence the critical value is z with a p-value equals to the significance level, hence z with a p-value of 0.05, hence z = -1.645.

What is the decision?

Considering the test statistic, for a left-tailed test, we have that:

• Less than the critical value: Reject H0.

• Equal or greater: Do not reject.

In this problem, z = -2.39 is less than -1.645, hence we should reject the null hypothesis H0.
